Norway's Mosques Are Multiplying, and Taxpayers Foot the Bill
PJ Media ^ | 9 Nov 2018 | Bruce Bawer

Posted on 11/09/2018 1:30:55 PM PST by Rummyfan

Founded in 2001, Oslo-based Human Rights Service (HRS) has been instrumental in supplying useful and illuminating research about the scale, nature, and social and economic impact of immigration into Norway. Its recommendations have resulted in important policy changes, its website is very widely read by Norwegians who are skeptical about Islam, and the latest book by its information officer, Hege Storhaug (just out in English as Islam: Europe Invaded, America Warned), was a massive bestseller.

In the U.S., a think tank like HRS would be funded by corporate donors and philanthropists, but, in accordance with Scandinavian practice, it gets its money -- which, given how much it accomplishes, doesn't really come to all that big a sum -- from the national government. Pretty much every year brings another fight over how much, if anything, HRS should get from the public till, with almost everyone on the left (and not a few on the right) complaining that its work contributes to negative images of Muslims. This year, the proposed national budget for 2019 left untouched the generous handouts to such far-left PC enforcers as the “Anti-Racist Center,” but cut by a half minute kroner ($60,000) the annual subsidy to HRS. The planned cut drew so much attention that a couple of leading members of the Progress Party (FrP) -- which voters put into power largely so that it could implement the kind of reforms that HRS has called for -- were actually roused to action and saw to it that the budget line was left untouched.

Financing their own destruction. Insanity.

...it was publishing bombshell reports on the stunning increase in the number of mosques in Norway -- and on the corresponding rise in the amount of taxpayer funds transferred to their coffers. Norway, let it be remembered, has a tiny population of 5.25 million people -- almost identical to that of Chicago -- but at present it has 219 mosques, which represents a 65% upsurge since only eight years ago. This year, the mosques received a total of 187 million kroner ($22,359,347) from the government.

One mosque in a country is one mosque too many no matter how it is funded.

Yeppers.

The only “good” thing about Islam is that since humans usually make terrible disciples as a consequence many Muslims do not actually emulate Mohammad.

In summation:

When Christians emulate Christ that is a VERY good thing.

When Muslims emulate Mohammad that is a VERY bad thing.

Europe Invaded, America Warned
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were warned on September 11, 2001 in a very brutal way and that still did not wake people up.

Islam means submission.

They mean everyone, everywhere will submit.

Or else.

A national survey of mosques found that a quarter of the 2,106 mosques were built in the past decade, most concentrated in major cities. “New York still has the greatest number of Islamic centers – 257 – followed by 246 in California and 166 in Texas. Florida is fourth with 118.”

Yes it is. The Quran tells them to conquer the world and make infidels convert to Islam or die.

It is the start of Muslim cancer that will spread. ,
Like cancer it won't bother you a bit in the early stages until it spreads and you notice undesirable symptoms.
It may be too late by then, because it is not going away without some uncomfortable treatments. - Tom

Kinda like socialism.

By the time it sinks in it’s too late.

And our Left adores both. But they’re the children of the Cultural Marxists, even if they dispute it, and so we should expect nothing more.

Same with how the OIC has placed everyone on legal notice that they do not use or define terms like terrorism as we do, and so whenever some Muslim prince or minister says something to condemn acts of terrorism the media in the West and the Left just fawn all over peaceful Islam when in fact they didn’t say what everyone thinks they said.

The only good Muslim is a bad Muslim.

A bad Muslim respects women & doesn’t care how they dress, leaves people of other faiths alone, lets others eat & drink whatever they like, stays away from mosques with their crazy imams, is a good neighbor and loves America just as it is.

Simple.

What bothers me about the Islamic threat is the fundamental Muslims tell us Kafirs what their intentions are: to subjugate convert or kill anyone on the planet who is not a Muslim and back it up with 1400 years of history.

Yet the Kafirs ignore this, and make excuses like Muslims who are doing what Allah wants done, and who follow the examples set by Muhammad are misinterpreting the religion of peace.
They just don't want to face up to the fundamental Islamic problem.
The Kafirs want to apply their beliefs to Muslims who follow a different God and have a much different agenda.-Tom

A bad Muslim isn’t emulating Mohammad. Thing is, their book and writing sold in most every Islamic book store is all they need to go from being a bad Muslim to being a good Muslim.

As Stephen Coughlin (look up the Red Pill Briefing) has repeatedly pointed out: he doesn’t have to demonstrate that these same books which direct people to be good Muslims are or are not the “real Islam” ... only that these are widely available and considered to be authorative works by those who sell and buy them. And those books MAKE men into Terrorists if they should just seriously take them at face value.

Something about the Lord, who is NOT Allah BTW, sending them a strong delusion comes to mind.

That said, the only real impediment to anti-Christian Leftists in Europe and America flooding into mosques is that thing on the poofters. Yet as abrogation is a fundamental tenant of Islam I wouldn’t be surprised if Antichrist, likely being the new Muslim prince to rule over the Caliphate, will claim a revelation from Allah (i.e. Satan) and announce a poofter friendly version of Islam, maybe even poofter mandatory, and the Middle Eastern and Western parts of the devil’s power base will flow together like two fetid streams.

Ironically, that doesn’t work with REAL frogs because frogs, unlike people, cannot make excuse or claim this is what they prefer or had in mind all along.

Real frogs feel the hot coming on and jump out.

Kinda like that old Twilight Zone episode where the punchline is that a man will walk straight into Hell where a dog will realize something is wrong.
